[GEM-dev] VideoIO Framework

[Thomas Holzmann]

OK, a little bit more detailed description of my work:
I will implement a framework which will be used to load the different 
libraries as plugins. This has the advantage that the libraries does not 
have to be available at compiling time (it will be checked if they are 
available at runtime) and various plugins can be added later easily.
This framework should then replace the existing implementation in 
pix_film and pix_video.
So now I'm looking at the API's of the different libraries and will then 
implement the framework.

The libraries for which the framework is aimed to are:
for file read/write:
- libAVIFile
- quicktime4linux
- ffmpeg
- DirectShow
- QuickTime

for stream read/write:
- V4L2
- DV
- QuickTime
- DirectShow

I will also look at mplayer and media player classic .

So if you know other libraries that would be nice to have or programs 
which have a similar framework please let me know.
